How work through xplor works

Who we are

xplor is a booking platform and placement agency for yachts and the people who work on them. It checks who you are and what you hold, takes the booking and prepares the yard file. xplor never employs anyone, is never the employer’s client, never sells the work and never directs or assigns anyone.

How you are employed

Employed through a licensed employer

A licensed employer employs you; the yacht’s owning company is its client. Your employer signs your contract, registers you with Social Security and pays you.

Employed through a licensed employer, you are employed only once your booking shows Employed. Don’t start work before that.

Who may work where

Whether you can work on yachts depends on the country and on your right to work there. See working on yachts in Spain.

How your data is shared

Your details go to the yacht or your employer only for a booking you have accepted, and only what they need. The yard or marina gets the gate list for its site: your name and the dates you will be there. Every introduction to an employer is logged. More in our privacy policy.

Fees

Through a licensed employer, the yacht’s card is charged twice: the daywork.es booking fee (SOLYSIA) when the yacht requests the booking, and the employer’s estimate for the booked hours, straight into the employer’s own account (the employer invoices the yacht’s company), when the employer approves it. VAT where it applies, and nothing is ever taken from your pay.

How to complain

If something goes wrong — a booking, a payment, a contract, or how you were treated — email us with the booking. Contracts and pay on the employment route are the employer’s: we pass your complaint to them and follow it up. Write to support@xplor.io.

You can always go to the labour inspectorate (Inspección de Trabajo y Seguridad Social) as well; xplor never stops you.
